I laughed a little as I started to write about this emotion. Being stuck in envy without understanding its message was a big cause of my old manifesting problems and I well remember the expansive freedom that came when I understood what it meant.
Life is a constant process of caring, wanting and creating. The trick is to flowwww… with it and enjoy the process. Envy is simply a message that says “Hey I want some of that too!” It’s when we get stuck in it, that it can get ugly.
Envy is an opportunity to notice exactly what it is that they have, that we want – so that we can create what we want for ourselves. That’s a big deal right there folks and worth reading again, because when you look into the feeling, the answer is very often not what you think it is.
Being stuck in envy has us being stuck in that struggling manifesting loop – going around and around in the same place without getting any closer to the things that we care deeply about – stuck in the “wanting” rather than using it as part of the playful Inner Guidance that it can be.
Are you curious to know if that’s really true?
And again… In that wonderful unique way that we experience our connection to others, is that envy even ours? Could there possibly be something to know or do, for or about someone else?

She’s from the Yarra Valley just outside of Melbourne and runs Horsemanship with Heart with her herd of amazing horses, which includes these two lovelies.
